You just described Plex 0.1.

There's a reason they turned to transcoding: it means every device can get the highest quality version it is capable of displaying. Your solution limits the video to the lowest common supported quality.

That's like saying that controlled fusion is a napkin problem.

The issue has always been the engineering. Programmers tend to be extremely bad at estimating he complexity of real world problems.

We're past the early adoption phase. We're in the same trough of disillusionment phase that big data went through.

Porn is speech. This has been litigated several times by SCOTUS.

Obscenity is not speech.

This is a pretty clear violation of the First Amendment, but the current SCOTUS doesn't care about the Constitution.

Multiple conservative SCOTUS justices openly admit to taking bribes from parties with cases before them.

Paypal isn't the right place for warranty disputes. They're not in the wrong there.

If you want purchase protection you need to use a card that offers it.

Most companies have already given up on AI. It was a bigger disappointment than big data.

The only companies sticking with AI at this point are the major players who have chasing their masssive overinvestments to the bitter end, crappy coding shops, and for some reason Starbucks and they'll all suffering badly in a year their customers begin demanding massive amounts of human coding to repair all the issues with the AI code.

And they all won their cases. Drug possession isn't a strict liability crime.

Did you actually read your cites?

without taking down prod even 1% of the time

Literally every major company that has embraced AI coding has suffered devastating downtime this year as a direct result of AI induced failures.

The absence of any such evidence, while not conclusive proof of course, constitutes evidence against this event happening.

There is documentation in Egypt of slaves around this time, and of the subsequent departure of some unstated number of slaves. There is evidence of pig bones disappearing from trash sites on the path of the migration, and there is evidence of a shift in religious practices along the migration path. So there is some evidence of an event similar to the Exodus occurring.

We're talking about something that occurred over 3000 years ago. Most events back then weren't recorded, and even then it was still so difficult and time consuming that Egypt and Ancient Greece generally left out the embarrassing parts, most of which we only know about because their contemporaries wrote about it to disgrace them (and most historians now suspect that the vast majority of negative accounts of other civilizations were wholly made up, especially those written by the Ancient Greeks).

Very few nomadic migrations left evidence on the way. There is more evidence of the some sort of exodus having occurred than of the human migration from Asia into South America (note: an increasing number of historians claim the first migration was by sea from Africa, not over land from Asia).

People are getting upset about this but it's been standard behavior in the app for several years to make waypoints on public routes public by default.

The change was to make waypoints on private routes to be public by default, which AllTrails has indicated in the thread they will be reverting and adding a new option to mark waypoints as public or private by default at the account level.

not many people consider that 'possession' can simply be a USB stick found in a tree on your 2 acre lot, or a usb stick that has been planted in your car

That's because that's not how the laws worked in the U.S., nor have the laws ever worked that way. If that was actually how the laws worked, a lot of enemies of each administration would get tarred with this, instead of literally none of them.

Or maybe...it is a good engine when configured and used properly, and many developers don't take the time to learn how to do so. There are plenty of UE games that don't have shader stuttering issues because there are plenty of things you can do to avoid shader stuttering.

UE-powered games collectively earn 20+ billion worldwide annually each year. Unity-powered games also earn 20+ billion annually. This means that each year these "bad" game engines power more revenue than every YCombinator company combined.

Meanwhile, idTech, however technically amazing it may be, is so complicated to develop for that even id Software doesn't use it for every game.

Yeah that was an issue with the 1st Gen of panels but that was solved over a decade ago.

I think the standard should be rewrites that are at least as good as the original, not buggy piles of unfinished unmaintainable crap.

Maybe the takeaway is that 20% is about all the LLM can muster.

People really need to read their cites and not just the summaries.

The paper notes two things:

1) While the compression ratio for visual text is better than it is for regular text, but the absolute space required is still higher for the images. OPs were talking about the space required, not the ratio.

2) The results of the OCR must still be fed into a text-based LLM for linguistic processing. Otherwise, all you have achieved is turning an image into a bunch of text.

At least a dozen times this season I've personally witnessed small kids talking about what they could buy with the money they would get from selling a foul ball that someone gave to them (out of guilt or public pressure) while their parents asked if they wouldn't rather keep it for the memories.

However, my home team is the Dodgers, so the experience is probably different in other markets where the local team sucks and nobody cares about the players (like the Anaheim Angels, where fans are more likely to throw the ball back onto the field than keep them).

It's not that those steps are necessary to prevent damage, it's that those steps were traditionally necessary to maintain calibration of the individual cell states. Also...the first several generations used really slow graphics processors based on the premise that use cases didn't require fast refreshing.

eInk mostly fixed the calibration issue years ago before the first eink monitors came out, and most eink products these days use beefier graphics processors.

If a human was not involved then it remains novel to humans.

Otherwise someone could copyright every combination of words.

Depends on what the little kid intends to do with it. A lot of them collect MLB baseballs to sell them for cash.

It may only seem like a small ask for you to tell an EA to do something afterhours but it's a significant amount of work on their end and it restricts the kind of activities they can do because you have effectively made them on call 24/7.

You're basically the reason these rules are being proposed.

No one is stupid enough to always measure performance based on token spend and have unlimited budget.

Accenture was.

Baseball doesn't have a cap on the number of hitters so it wouldn't be the same thing.

Wouldn't work. Judges would not treat the AI generated designs as prior art without proof of human involvement (above and beyond entering the prompt).

HEB tortillas are good for a store brand but you can get better tortillas at any half decent Mexican mom and pop store in SoCal.

In baseball it is possible to hit a home run without the ball leaving the playing field. It's happened several times in the past 2 months.

The code is...quite bad...

It seems the AI coding is just the software version of Temu. Lots of cheap stuff but none of it is very good and it breaks pretty easily when you try to do anything outside of a very very small list of uses.

Your Club 33 link doesn't prove your point. Club 33 was launched as a place to wine and dine corporate sponsors (i.e. companies paying to advertise at Disney properties).

The only non-sponsors allowed in were those who paid for the individual memberships. Currently, those memberships get you "free" VIP access to the Disney park where you have a membership, but the membership fee is $25,000 and the annual dues start at $10,000. These prices don't include food or beverage.

COR is an accounting concept, and GAAP does not dictate what has to go into COR because that is industry specific. (Though in that sense, the industry-specific practices determine GAAP for that industry.)
